The Sword God of the Universe-Chapter 1044: Is Your Face Worth Money?

For Zhao Tuan, the Little Knife Gang is nothing significant.

The leader of the Little Knife Gang, Zeng Ya, did indeed have relations with him, but whether Zeng Ya died or the Little Knife Gang was destroyed, Zhao Tuan wouldn’t feel a bit of heartache.

The problem is, the Little Knife Gang was ultimately considered Zhao Tuan’s people, and the Heavenly Origin Tribe wiped out the Little Knife Gang, causing Zhao Tuan to lose face.

The rumors outside were rampant, and everyone was waiting to see Zhao Tuan’s response to the matter. If Zhao Tuan didn’t hold the Heavenly Origin Tribe accountable, he would likely lose all prestige externally. Even within the Yushu Tribe, many people were watching his residence. If the Heavenly Origin Tribe wasn’t made to pay a sufficient price, those people would definitely secretly ridicule him.

"Let’s go, have a look at the Heavenly Origin Tribe." Zhao Tuan said in a calm tone.

"Go to the Heavenly Origin Tribe?" his confidant looked at Zhao Tuan.

"Hehe, even if Zeng Ya was a dog, he was my dog. That group of natives from the Heavenly Origin Tribe killed my dog; how can I not speak up?" Zhao Tuan said.

"I’ll go gather manpower." the confidant said hastily.

"No need, since the people from Luo Jiu Divine Palace are helping those natives, I still need to give them some face. If they act wisely, there is no need to wipe them out." Zhao Tuan shook his head.

Heavenly Origin Tribe.

"Leader, Elder Zhao Tuan from the Yushu Tribe is here." The news of Zhao Tuan’s arrival quickly reached Xing Kong’s ears.

At this time, in this region, there were indeed countless eyes watching.

This barren land had many large and small tribes. Among them, the Yushu Tribe was the strongest.

Those people knew the Little Knife Gang was Zhao Tuan’s lackey, and the Heavenly Origin Tribe destroyed the Little Knife Gang, which was undoubtedly a slap to Zhao Tuan’s face. They expected Elder Zhao Tuan to take action.

As expected, Elder Zhao Tuan personally came to the Heavenly Origin Tribe.

Who knows if the Heavenly Origin Tribe will still exist tomorrow?

Upon receiving the report, Xing Kong immediately dressed neatly and went out, along with several elders of the tribe, who quickly gathered as well. The group exited the tribe together.

Xing Kong gazed forward, took a slight breath, and saw Zhao Tuan flying in; he couldn’t help but feel slightly anxious. However, seeing Elder Zhao Tuan only brought a few confidants, Xing Kong’s expression relaxed a bit.

If Elder Zhao Tuan intended to destroy the Heavenly Origin Tribe, he certainly wouldn’t just come with these few people but with a massive army.

This matter seems open for discussion.

"Greetings to Elder Zhao Tuan." Xing Kong and others saluted from afar.

"Haha, Leader Xing Kong, I have heard of your famous name for a long time." Zhao Tuan glanced at Xing Kong and laughed, but his face showed no expression.

"Elder Zhao Tuan, please come in." Xing Kong gestured invitingly.

"I won’t go inside, let’s chat here casually." freewebnøvel_com

"Leader Xing Kong, you should know that Zeng Ya was my person. Yet, you killed Zeng Ya and destroyed the Little Knife Gang. This makes me very displeased." Zhao Tuan’s eyes squinted, his tone not intense, but the sinister expression made Xing Kong and others feel a chill.

"Elder Zhao Tuan, this matter cannot be blamed on our Heavenly Origin Tribe. Zeng Ya was too oppressive. He first killed our tribe members and then attempted to seize a small spirit stone vein. The brothers had no choice but to act. Not acting meant death. If there were any chance of survival, our Heavenly Origin Tribe would never dare to strike against Elder Zhao Tuan’s people." Xing Kong tried to remain calm and spoke slowly.

"Leader Xing Kong, I don’t want to say too much meaningless words. The Little Knife Gang is gone, and I don’t wish for the entire Heavenly Origin Tribe to be buried alongside it. However, the Heavenly Origin Tribe must meet two of my conditions." Zhao Tuan waved his hand.

"Please speak, Elder Zhao Tuan." Xing Kong said hurriedly.

"The first condition is for the Heavenly Origin Tribe to compensate me with a hundred thousand Divine Crystals for my loss." Zhao Tuan said in a deep voice.

A hundred thousand Divine Crystals!

Upon hearing this number, Xing Kong and the others felt a heaviness in their hearts. Where could the Heavenly Origin Tribe find a hundred thousand Divine Crystals?

Even selling everything, it’s challenging to gather. If it’s ten thousand Divine Crystals, it might barely be achievable. Xing Kong and others were prepared for compensation, but a hundred thousand Divine Crystals was beyond what the Heavenly Origin Tribe could bear.

"Elder Zhao Tuan, you know the situation of the Heavenly Origin Tribe. A hundred thousand Divine Crystals is impossible to produce." Xing Kong said with a bitter face.

"I don’t care about that. Within three days, I want to see a hundred thousand Divine Crystals, not one less. Hehe, don’t you have spirit stone veins? They should have some value; selling a few thousand spirit stones shouldn’t be a problem. Moreover, doesn’t your Heavenly Origin Tribe have relations with the Luo Jiu Divine Palace? Borrowing some shouldn’t be an issue?" Zhao Tuan sneered, clearly indicating no room for negotiation over the hundred thousand Divine Crystals compensation.

"The second condition is I want to meet that person named Jing Yan. I heard that the reason the Little Knife Gang was wiped out was mainly due to this person." Zhao Tuan said, glaring.

Xing Kong and others looked at each other.

"If you can meet these two conditions, then the matter of the Little Knife Gang being destroyed will be settled. Otherwise, Leader Xing Kong, don’t blame me for being ruthless." A faint killing intent emanated from Zhao Tuan.

Six-star Void God Warrior is not someone Xing Kong and others can confront directly.

Xing Kong and others were somewhat anxious, unsure how to handle it.

"Elder Zhao Tuan!"

At this moment, Jing Yan, in a blue robe, slowly walked out. He had heard all of Zhao Tuan’s words.

"I am Jing Yan." Jing Yan smiled at Zhao Tuan.

Zhao Tuan’s gaze fixed on Jing Yan.

"Brother Jing Yan..." Xing Kong and others looked at Jing Yan.

Jing Yan slightly waved his hand at them, indicating not to worry.

"Hehe, interesting. I heard you’re a member of the Luo Jiu Divine Palace, which palace are you from?" Zhao Tuan chuckled.

"Elder Zhao Tuan came all this way, is it to investigate me?" Jing Yan squinted and said, with no hint of respect in his attitude.

Jing Yan’s demeanor took Zhao Tuan aback, his killing intent thickening.

In this region, few dare to speak to Zhao Tuan this way.

"Hehe..." Zhao Tuan chuckled coldly.

"Jing Yan, since you’re a member of the Luo Jiu Divine Palace, I can give you a bit of face. Zeng Ya was killed by you, right? If it were anyone else, I would have skinned them long ago. But for you, I can spare your life. Now, I’ll give you a way out, kneel and confess your mistake." Zhao Tuan’s voice was sharp, his words chilling.

Jing Yan’s gaze suddenly sharpened.

"Elder Zhao Tuan wants to give me face?" Jing Yan laughed, "Hehe, is your face very valuable?"
